Physicists led by Johannes Roßnagel at the University of Mainz in Germany, the single atom engine is about as efficient as your car at transforming the changing temperature into mechanical energy.

An incredible new engine is powered by just a single calcium atom, and by being so small it can run more efficiently than scientists had previously believed possible. Share on Facebook (opens in a new ...

Physicists have just built the smallest working engine ever created. It's a heat-powered motor barely larger than the single atom it runs on. Designed and build by a team of experimental physicists ...

Physicists have developed an engine that you can’t see with the naked eye. In a paper published today in the journal Science, the research team from the University of Mainz and University of Kassel in ...

The smaller the better, and in a world of fast-developing technology, that’s called innovation. Just this month, a desk-sized turbine capable of powering a small town was announced to be under ...

Hot stuff: The experimental set-up with the trapped calcium. (Courtesy: Johannes Roßnagel) Physicists in Germany have taken mechanical miniaturization to the ultimate limit by producing a heat ...
